Thanks for your reply, but S3 mini isnt launched yet and Ace 2, i dont think it's good, i have an Ace and it sucks.
Bump to the top...
Nexus S is about $250 on ebay?
Best bet to get a high specced phone that cheap would be a minor chinese branded phone. (Xiaomi MI-One)
Or maybe go for a second hand Seansation XE.

Lulz. Just because both got similar name and one of it sucks doesnt mean the other one sucks too. The original ace uses ancient 800mhz armv6 cpu and adreno200. Ace 2 got dualcore 800mhz armv7 cpu and mali400 gpu. Its like comparing a dinosaur with an ufo.

I can't, i have to chose from one of these.
But thanks for the reply.
i dont want to start new topic so i will ask here.
I want to buy new phone.Max price limit is 300e.
I m choosing between desire s, nexus s or maybe desire.
sure all of them have great screen, however i am little bit worried about nexus s because it doesnt have gorrila glass. so i dont put my phone in pocket with keys but you never known how can it be scratched. so is the glass of nexus hard to scratch like gorrila glass or not? and if not will screen protector help in gorrila glass way?
second demand are roms. i like miui rom from screens and i read that ics miui was released today for nexus s so its pro for nexus. so i need just these two roms, ics and miui.

s2 is a better value for money...rest its ur bucks...
its better to take htc 1 x. this device s3 is highly over priced idiot samsung.
i will stick to dual cores for now as quad core is not worth buying now.
thats my view
note and note 2 are toooo big

HAHA Processor frequency and number of cores don't mean higher performance. A good processor needs a good architecture. In this case, Samsung Exynos Quad is definitely better than Nvidia Tegra 3.
In my opinion, don't get a quad core smartphone this year. As they're only with 2 additional same level ARM-A9 in the chip. I would recommend you to get the Snapdragon S4 powered smartphone. As it has 2 ARM-A15 processors inside. One A15's performance is actually stronger than two A9. The idea smartphone in this year should be Sony Xperia GX or HTC One S with the HD screen missing but other than that, One S is awesome.

Go for S3! There won't be S4 anytime soon, so... There won't be a better phone any time soon, so, until then S3 will be the best phone in the world!! (Just like the S2, two years in a row!)

If u have a galaxy s2 . i dont think u should upgrade to galaxy s3
because there isnt that many new feature in it that is worth the upgrade
the galaxy s2 is a great phone and it will suit your needs for another year
so stick with s2 till s4
trust me i had s2 and i went for s3 and i didnt find that many new stuff that was worth the upgrade
The main improvements over the S2 for me are much better screen, call quality (clarity and no echo), hugely improved audio (even better than S1 thanks to siyah audio tweaks) and much much better battery life. Plus an improvement in looks IMO.

Keep the s2. Best phone with minor things missing which can be ported from s3.

I've had my S3 for 2 days now having upgraded from S2 and to be honest so far I think my S2 was better. I was running wajk miui on my S2 and it was great. running stock on the S3 at the moment but i'm finding lots of little bugs. motion to put your hand over the screen to stop media doesn't work, s-voice is pretty crap and it doesn't seem anywhere near as fast as my S2.
Having said all that I'm going to persevere with it and try different roms til I find one that makes it run much better.

Personally, right now if I had the choice of SGS3 and Note 2 I'd go for the note. Faster CPU and more RAM, bigger screen, battery and S-Pen.
Wait for the Galaxy Note 2 if you can put up with the huge screen (in some cases it's the bigger the better but that screen is a little too big for my liking)

Hi everyone... i am a student and currently own a Samsung galaxy s2 for last 10 months...
Last week i got my screen cracked but everything is working fine...
I was thinking if it would be a good idea to sell this and buy a new phone instead of spending 6500 inr for screen...
If yes then which one...

i would buy a s2 again.
im very interested in smartphones and always buy the newest and best phones. but when i buyed my s2 a long time ago, i was so happy with it,
the cam is very very good, the speed is awesome and its not to big like s3 or the notes. as u can see its still supported even from samsung with new jelly bean upgrade. i dont know much phones which get 2 android upgrades (from gb to ics, from ics to jb) except the google phones and the s2 is still supported by good devs. so why not buy a s2?

I would agree in some point. Yeah it is got a very good graphics card and all. But you might wanna go a little more future proof with the 2GB RAM option. Not that you need/use it all but its worth having for the future. Im always going with the Note series now but the Nexis 4 is a pretty solid buy

Where's the "Hell no, I'm buying something that isn't made by Samdung" option?
I'd pick that, since I got burned by defective SII and SIII eMMC. It wouldn't surprise me one iota if SDS crops up in the S4 also. Lesson learned.
Skipping S IV. There is nothing it will offer that is worth an upgrade so soon after S III.
I'll keep it for awhile. The best phone ever and it will be strong for years.

The battery life is horrendus on the nexus 4. Drains so quick its not even funny.. lol
With exynos 5 and 2600 mah. Battery life should be around the note 2. Note 2 battery life was awesome.
waiting for another release of S Series,
maybe S 5
but if this concept becomes true, i will buy it as soon as possible.
Only thing that interests me is using it with gloves because could help a lot at work, But I've been sticking the tips from some of those cheap capacitive gloves onto my work gloves and works fine, and apart from that I see no reason to give up my S3.
No not that much difference it isnt just bout specs
S3 will have all s4 features soon they look alike.. and 1 thing i wont forget by samsung is the sources

I'm actually liking the S IV more and more when i read about it and watch vids.
I really like the software improvements in the SIV, those features will be released to SIII with a software update, maybe. :fingers-crossed:
I will keep the SIII for a year maybe...The SIII is still a beast, maybe the next Galaxy

Pffft........I'm waiting for the S6.....even better
Nope,my S3 is still around 4-5 months old and this year if I upgrade again it will be Xperia Z not S4 & I don't see a point upgrading S3 this much sooner either.It performs more than enough for now,for at least around another year & half S3 should be a beast.There is nothing in S4 that wow'ed me like S3 or Xperia Z did when those were announced.I don't need floating touch or online translator app(for that we already have google) + we will get most of new features in S3 after some time via upgrade hopefully
And I don't need a 8 core processor in my phone,hell 4 core i5 760 is even more than enough for my gaming rig.
I usually upgrade every year, but here's why it's a no from me this time around...
(AnTuTu scores)
Galaxy S1 (~3000)
Galaxy S2 (~6000) (200% increase from S1)
Galaxy S3 (~16000) (267% increase from S2)
Galaxy S4 (~21000) (130% increase from S3)
So unless you want it for DC-HSPA+ / LTE (which I'm not going to see any time soon), it's probably not worth it.
